| Annotation | Adult daughters and daughters-in-law provide the majority of parent care and, increasingly, combine paid employment with caregiving. In this study, the employment decisions of 157 full-time, part-time and not employed daughters and daughters-in-law in Michigan were described over the first eighteen months of parent care at two points in time: three months after assuming care and fifteen months later. Employment decisions were also examined when caregiving continued, when it was discontinued and when a parent died. Results revealed that part-time employed daughters made more changes and adjustments in their employment than did full-time or not employed daughters. When a parent died, more changes in employment occurred prior to the death than when a parent remained in care. |
